Hi it's Farure! I'm writing this in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Yu Yu Hakusho. This show is older then I am but it is still my favorite show to date (and it will stay my favorite). So here goes!

NON-YAOI. All friendship!

Surrender

5:23

Kuwabara slammed his alarm clock, The beeping violently took away his restful sleep. He sat up, taking his time to yawn and stretch his limbs. Kuwabara lay back again with his arms folded beneath his head, his eyes closing as he was making his plans for today. He's been wanting to go to the arcade with Yusuke, and try his best to get Kurama to join them, there was no point in asking Hiei. His thoughts were cut short when he realized that he already had plans for today. Snapping his head to face his alarm clock, Kuwabara let out something in-between a yawn and a irritated scream. "Im so late... Im gonna be so dead." Jumping out of his bed, Kuwabara hurried to his closet to grab some clothes. Trying to multitask, Kuwabara stumbled down the stairs, almost tripping multiple times as he was pulling his pants up. Clenching his jaw into some toast Kuwabara slammed the door shut behind him and ran to Genkai's temple. He totally forgot about the mission they received from Koenma, four demons have been causing havoc and they were supposed to look for them and arrest them. They were supposed to meet at the temple at 5 o'clock. Of course Kuwabara overslept and ran late. His running came to a halt in front of the large staircase that lead to the temple, Eating the last piece of toast Kuwabara began his climb.

5:45

"You got to be kidding me-." Yusuke tapped his foot impatiently. "That moron is ruining our schedule." Hiei finished Yusuke's sentence. "Well at last he arrived." Genkai gestured to the stairs. There, a exhausted Kuwabara finally half-walking/half-crawling got to the top. Letting himself flip to lay on his back panting heavily. A sudden hand on his shoulder made him jump up to a sitting position. Kurama was kneeling besides him. "Good morning." Kurama gave a slight edge to his tone, as if to mock him. Kuwabara got to his feet and turned to Yusuke, who was still tapping his foot on the stone floor of the temple entrance. "You are late." "Yeah sorry Urameshi, I overslept, why do we have to meet so early anyway?" "Because it is the most convenient." Genkai interrupted, opening the slide doors to the temple to let the group in. Botan was waiting for them inside, holding the files of the case in her hands. She stood up when Yusuke and the others entered the room. "Good you're all here." She gave Kuwabara a amused smile. "Now, about this case." Botan began.

6:00

"There have been some disappearances in both demon world and human world. These disappearances have already been linked to a group of Rogue Ninja, or beter known as hunters. We are not sure if they really do have something to do with the missing person files." Botan opened a folder and spread the papers on the floor for all to see. "Three humans and five demons in total. We usually don't respond to human worlds missing person files, but the pattern in these and in those from the demons can not be ignored." Botan took a small break to flip through the papers. "How did they disappear?" Yusuke asked. "That's the point, they disappeared without a trace. No evidence, nothing... As if they just vanished from the map." Botan collected the papers and placed them back into their original folder. "I think you know where to look?" Botan looked at Hiei and Kurama from the corner of her eyes. "Hiei can use his Jagan when needed. I think the compass will do just fine with these rogues. We know who to look for." Yusuke grabbed his coat and headed for the exit. The rest followed suit.

9:30

"So, four rogues. How do we find those." Yusuke looked at his comrades.

"We should think like a rogue!" Kuwabara raised a finger as he tried to sound smart. His attempt made Kurama chuckle. "Where should I go if I were a kidnapping rogue person!" Kuwabara gave Hiei a quick glance.

"Hmpf, how should I know where they are hiding." Hiei went to sit in a tree, looking over the forest with his arms crossed. "I am no rogue." Hiei finished.

"Of course the shrimp ain't a rogue." Kuwabara continued walking. Looking at Yusuke and Kurama, who were walking in front of him. Yusuke kept his eyes on the compass as it frantically began to spin, leading them a little bit more to the east. Kurama had both hands in his pockets, the plants in the forest were reacting to his presence a lot more then the plants in the human world, constantly facing him as he moved past them, dancing in the non-existing wind. He would occasionally touch a tree in an attempt to catch some tracks left by the hunters. Kurama disapproved of them being called hunters, Triggering memories of when he was caught and almost killed by a hunter. That forced him to take refuge in the human world, hearing about active hunters, it ran a chill down his spine.

18:00

A sudden beeping came from within the compass, which went faster the further they walked forward. "They are close." Yusuke looked behind him to check if everyone was here before continuing. The forest was getting darker by the minute and it was getting harder to see. "Can't we just make a camp? I'm beat!" Kuwabara broke the silence with his obnoxious whining. "Making a camp here is too dangerous, we are close to our target and we can not afford to be ambushed." Kurama kept his voice low and soft as he ran his fingers across another tree, placing his hand firmly on the stam as he closed his eyes. "They are here." Kurama's voice was now just barely above a whisper, looking up at the tree tops, emerald eyes analyzing and searching for any movement. Hiei was watching with him and jumped up the moment they spotted something. Kurama pulled a rose from his hair, eyes focused on the tree tops. Kuwabara and Yusuke took each others and Kurama's back as they prepared to fight whatever was above them.

It was quiet, too quiet. Hiei had been gone for a few minutes and the air went silent. A soft sound of footsteps was heard on Kuwabara's let. He turned to face the direction the sound was coming from, ready to summon his spirit sword. A sound from behind him made him lose his guard, someone hit him, making him fly forward, away from Yusuke and Kurama. Noticing the sudden disappearance of Kuwabara, Kurama and Yusuke repositioned back to back. Kuwabara summoned his spirit sword, creating a little light source to see in the now almost completely dark forest. "Uuuh guys.." Kuwabara got to his feet but didn't see any trace of Yusuke and Kurama, he was separated from the group.

Faque shadows danced around them, circling as if surrounding their prey. "Well, well.." A deep voice spoke hauntingly close to Yusuke's right. "New ones, how exciting! Can we keep them?" This voice was female, high pitched and sounded a bit too excited for Yusuke's taste. "For now, yes. We'll see what we can do with these four." The deep voice replied. "Yo I don't know what you want from us but-" "Oh god, it talks" The woman sounded annoyed yet surprised. "Where the hell are Kuwabara and Hiei!" Yusuke glanced up into the air, trying to spot Hiei while trying to not lose his guard.

"Ah the loud mouth and the little one?" The female voice gave a small chuckle. "No, we got him." A soft thud was heard, Kuwabara was dropped in from of the two mysterious beings by a third one. His hands and feet cuffed together. "Hey! You sneaked up behind me in the dark, Not fair!" Kuwabara squealed from the top of his lungs. "Damnit, stop talking." The third figure pressed it's foot on Kuwabara's face to shut him up. Yusuke felt the air move as a figure darted towards him but was quickly shot back when Kurama summoned his rose whip, swinging the whip above his head as it created a kind of barrier around the two.

"This is a smart one bro! A plant master too!" The female sounded even more excited, it creeped Yusuke out. "Kurama, I'm going for the three that got Kuwabara, My spirit gun would be able to drive them apart." "I got your back." Kurama broke his move, giving Yusuke room to charge at the three figures. The fourth figure continued it's attack, this time on Kurama. Spinning a quick 180, Kurama slashed his attacker across the chest.

Yusuke pointed his finger at the three figures. "Urameshi-!" Kuwabara was stept on once again, to shut him up. "Let him go, or else!" Yusuke warned. "Tsk, why don't you join him... NOW!" As soon as the female shouted a fifth person came from the bushes and hit Yusuke across the cheek, sending him into a tree. Locking his arms together. "Wrong move buddy, I can blast myself out of this in no time!" Yusuke tried to gather his energy into his index finger, but to no avail. "It's no use, you are wasting your time. These shackles trap your energy. You can't manipulate it." The deep voice sighed as Yusuke started to try and squeeze his hands free.

Jumping back as the fourth drew a sword, starting to swing it at Kurama repeatedly. A sudden increase of speed made the fourth stand a little bit too close to Kurama. Raising his left arm to protect his face and chest, the blade of the fourth connected with his arm, slicing through skin and muscle like it was butter. "Kurama-!" Yusuke yelled in concern for his teammate, Four of them were just watching. Meaning that, if Kurama was able to defeat one, another would attack. After dodging some of his attacks, Kurama tangled his rose whip around his ankle and catapulted the fourth over his head. Holding his wounded arm to his chest. Right after the fourth was crashed into the forest floor, Hiei returned, landing next to the fallen attacker.

"I've had enough of this.." The female grabbed an item out of her pocket, walking closer to Kurama. Hiei saw her approach and drew his sword. Seeing what she retrieved out of her pocket, Hiei quickly called for Kurama, but he was too late. Holding the smal blowpipe to her lips, the female shot a small arrow in Kurama's neck.

An overwhelming pain shot through his neck. He had just defeated the first one, he didn't even have the time to call his rose whip back. Pulling the dart out of his neck, his vision started to blur. Falling to his knees as the pain spread through his entire body. Everything went black before he felt himself hit the ground.

The female stood over the unconscious fox. "Hand yourself over without resisting and I'll let him life, I'll let them life."

As soon as Hiei dropped his sword he was cuffed and lead to where Kuwabara and Yusuke were, walking past Kurama and the woman. Kuwabara and Yusuke were guided to their feet. "Shall I cuff him?" The third asked as he approached the fox. "No, he's out cold." The female responded as she walked back to the others.

The third bend over the fox and grabbed his hair with one hand. Yusuke could only watch as his friend was dragged over the ground by his hair, like a rag doll. After a few minutes of walking Kuwabara spoke. "Can't you at least lift h-" "No." But was rudely cut off. Hiei growled under his breath in frustration of getting caught in the first place. There was just no way that they could lose.

Tadaah...Eeeeh yeah im 2 days late with celebrating the 25th anniversary. But rather later then never I guess?
